Official Flyer

Because of Sailor Moon S.H.Figuarts' release, Naoko Takeuchi had decided to do a photo contest based around on fans to upload, and share photos with their posed Sailor Moon Figuart. There is about two categories, one being "Pretty" and "Soldier", if winning on one of them, Naoko by herself, would give rare, and special goods to the winners by her. The entering was until August 31st.[5]

Winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place)

Pretty Category

"Swing of the Moon"

Title

Swing of the Moon (お月様のブランコ Otsukisama no Buranko)

Creator

Princess (姫 Hime)

Appeal Point (literal translation)

The background is with light pink, and it is decorated with a chain of beads, and to express the beauty of Sailor Moon swinging the Moon-Stick, I made a glitter-like swinging!! Because the 2 twin tail of Sailor Moon fell through the swinging, I moved one twin tail to express movement, and not to get in the way of the moon-like stick. To make the moon-stick swinging prettier, I used my best smartphone apps to edit it into glitter!!

Naoko Takeuchi's Comment for the picture

I chose this as the winner, because it was a pretty masterpiece which contained power in the background! Also the work with Usagi-chan being happy, and carrying the glittery Moon-Stick was a masterpiece.

"Make Up!!"

Title

Make Up!!

Creator

Kerorin (けろりん Kerorin)

Appeal Point (literal translation)

I covered the whole room with light pink roses as Usagi-chan is on a full make-up room. I will never forget the girl's mind even if I became a Sailor Senshi. I put the mirror Crystal Star, which was from the Sailor Moon Cosmetics, and it was cherish. The atmosphere became pretty by the pink pretty flowers, and was also captured on behind the mirror. One point is the raised leg, making it a charming pose.

"Usual Guardian Angel"

Title

Usual Guardian Angel (いつも助けてくれる人 Itsumo tasukete kureru hito)

Creator

kimi

Appeal Point (literal translation)

Tuxedo Kamen always appeared when Sailor Moon was on a pinch. I was taken with Tuxedo Kamen's image when...always being in the heart of Sailor Moon, even if not fighting. Because of this, I gave a romantic atmosphere by just putting a mirror. Also because the back of the Sailor Moon Figuart is pretty, I did the mirror, as you could see both of the sides of the Figuart.

Black Lady

Soldier Category

Because the competition was about focusing on facial expression, and movement, this time I chose to do about the silhouette of the Figuart. I love the silhouette of Sailor Moon!!

Naoko Takeuchi's Comment for the picture

When I saw this picture, its idea caught my very eyes. It was a cool, and I had a feeling of throbbing impulse of Sailor Moon.

"Everyone, Give Me Strength!"

Title

Everyone, Give Me Strength! (みんな、私に力を！ Min'na, Watashi ni Chikara o!)

Creator

Achamoon (アチャムーン Achamūn)

Appeal Point (literal translation)

With hope, Sailor Moon summons the power of the five Senshi to gather safely. The combination of the light, and sparkling beauty in the photo processing was representing the characteristics of Usagi-chan, and each Senshi, and feelings.

I tried to return back the first series of Sailor Moon published by "Nakayoshi" with the figurine. It was fun to find the cloth fitting the role of the figurine, by the handcraft shop. The cloth was Sailor Moon's cloak in red, and white. When I first read Sailor Moon published by Nakayoshi, it was a good opportunity, and the picture I was inspired was cool, and Luna was the partner for all this time. I noticed that the color of 5, and rainbows was the color of the Senshi. I remembered when Sailor Moon wore the cloak, it was cool, and original. I love the colored illustrations of Naoko Takeuchi sensei!!!
